Council Payments for Care not Deductible?

Local Authority Payments Not To Be Taken Into Account
Freeman v Lockett
QBD
7 February 2006
BAILII Judgment
For all these reasons I have concluded that I should make no
deduction from the award of damages to the Claimant to reflect the
possible continued availability to her of direct payments from
Hertfordshire County Council. I recognise that this conclusion
leaves open the possibility of double recovery but I have already
found that that will not in this case in fact occur.

Thanks to LawBrief Update for guiding me to this case:
